"I would like to thank you for allowing me to be here once again, and I have just learned about the medal I will receive, which makes me absolutely thrilled. For me, it is the greatest honor I can receive in my sporting career, and I am immensely proud to represent Aragón," Bergua said.
To conclude her speech, she said, "I hope I can continue coming here many more times with good news, and I am very proud to be Aragonese."
A GIFT FROM THE REGIONAL GOVERNMENT
The president of Aragón recalled that Inés had dreamed since childhood of becoming an Olympian and wearing the national team tracksuit, and that she had made her dream come true "through hard work, effort and tenacity."
With that same passion, the gymnast from Huesca is studying law, a degree she hopes to complete before the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. "As a future Aragonese lawyer, we want to give you a gift," the president told her before presenting two prints reproducing two miniatures from the codex written between 1247 and 1252 that is named after its author, Vidal de Canellas, a jurist and bishop of Huesca.
"Inés is one of our best ambassadors." Through her achievements, she has elevated Spanish rhythmic gymnastics and carried the name of Aragón around the world. "Inés is an example, a role model and someone many Aragonese people can look up to," the president concluded.
